cctools (presumably): No port llvm-10 found in the index

[thetrial (alabay)]

I have a strange error and cannot file that properly due to the lack of a logfile.

Two 10.11.6 machines run the same macports setup (same requested ports), a Mac Pro (2,1) and a MacBook Pro (5,5). On the MacBook Pro everything runs through (except keepassxc, but that is another story), on the Mac Pro I get an untypical error:

Warning: No port llvm-10 found in the index.
--->  Computing dependencies for cctoolsError: Problem while installing cctools
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Exactly this way, with no new line, no log, nothing. So I’m not sure to what this error could belong. To cctools? To macports itself?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

You might get a bit more information with the -d option. Does e.g. port info llvm-10 also fail?

[thetrial (alabay)]

No, I get this output:

llvm-10 @10.0.1_1 (lang)

                      some less common ones!) These libraries are built around a well specified code
                      representation known as the LLVM intermediate representation ("LLVM IR").

[thetrial (alabay)]

Still the same here. This is really strange due to there is no log or clear statement except »Warning: No port llvm-10 found in the index«.

[kencu (Ken)]

do you have xcode installed? or just the command-line tools?

[kencu (Ken)]

also, do you already have some version of cctools installed? if so, what?

port -v installed cctools

[thetrial (alabay)]

I have xcode installed.

port -v installed cctools

None of the specified ports are installed.

here's what I see:

[kencu (Ken)]

what prefix are you building into? Do you have to build llvm-10 etc, or are you getting it from the buildbot? Are you using +universal, or just normal?

[kencu (Ken)]

I can only guess the MacPro is somehow hosed. Diskutil check, some mod in the ports tree you made, some ports overlay, anything?

I would try for a bit, and if no happiness, go the "macports migration guide", check out how to save a list of all your installed ports, do that, then uninstall and completely blow out macports, reinstall it, and restore your ports.

Life is too short sometimes for extensive, inexplicable weirdness (IMHO) as much as we would love to tell you exactly what it is that is wrong on the MacPro, it may not be worth that amount of effort to sort out.

[thetrial (alabay)]

I did not request cctools, I guess it is a dependency (?). That’s the reason why I don’t know about llvm-10.

I can try this.

The reason I don’t want to set that up again is that e.g. keepassxc than would be lost. That built unteil 2.6.3 … since then boo. I’ll try to manually install cctools … and see what happens.

[thetrial (alabay)]

Well, it starts with …

Why did that work now?! It ran through as if there was no problem. But unrequested it gave an error?! I’ll see what comes next with an update outdated.

[thetrial (alabay)]

Well, this time it became …

Error: Problem while installing libgcc10

I don’t know if that has to do with this …

:info:build <built-in>: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction: 4

I’ll look at this later. If necessary, I’ll file the next problem for libgcc10 :-)

[kencu (Ken)]

ok. well, it was something, but we may never know exactly what. I'll close this, if you get clarity in libgcc10 that can be a new ticket.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Looks rather like a circular dependency. Could be something like #62345.
